//welcome back also, the battle between roxy and kastor should be described... should we take it on PM? or on the OOC menu so that noone can interupt it, but still watch? or shal I just add the battle in the book? also, when is witewolf gonna ask about the auras?//


*I look around* I have never been here before... where is this?

 
[We can battle it out in OOC that way people can watch if they so choose. But not interfere  ]
 
*Kastor was about to reply to Cifero's rude outburst when he saw the deceased rabbit lieing on the boat. He saw how upset Dala was and decided it best to keep quiet.*

[Kaya]

Cassandra snarled at Kastor and went back to reading over the book, it was wonderful.. the power seemed to flow from the pages, she ignored the rest of his tirraid until he left. after he had gone she could not help but throw the book against the wall and howl in fustration. this was getting to complicated she wanted just to go home, back to her simple little shack.. she should not have even left.. should have stayed in her destroyed village.. should have just let her self waist away into nothing.. it would have been better than getting all wound up in this massive war. everything she did was wrong.... no.. not everything.. not everything was wrong she though to herself as she picked back up the book. dont ever let your emotions get in the way like that again you stupid fool she nodded to herself and went back to reading.

[Cifero Windtail]

(Kaya, be careful. You are supposed to be the one who saves everyone, if I recall...)
*Cifero gently hugged Dala.*
"I'm sorry. He was a great man. I didn't know him for long myself, but I will miss him also."
*Looking behind Dala, he nodded at Kastor.*
"Sorry about telling you to shut up, Kastor. But you must realize, not everyone allied with the demons is truly evil. They also think they are fighting for a good cause. Like Hunter did when he first joined."
*He let go of Dala and slid off of Aragon, a serious look adorning his countenance.*
"But Hunter is dead now, his true self gone... he is fully under the power of evil."
*The crat looked up at the others.*
"That's why we have to save whoever can be saved... because they still have a choice. And if you have a choice, you aren't fully evil."
*He turns back to Dala.*
"Now, about the box... it may be true that you never asked where the key is."
*He grinned, pulling the key out of his satchel*
"Luckily, you don't have to."

[Sne]

Dalavesta wordlessly took the key from Cifero and put it into the keyhole of the cubic box. She turned the key and the box clicked once, twice, again and then disintegrated into several symmetrical fragments which lay on her hand, revealing a crumbled piece of parchment inside. She unraveled it and saw werid symbols she never encountered before. Despite this their meaning got into her head anyway and she read aloud:

"Your flesh will suffer and be baned
But a triumph can still be obtained

Member of Greyhawk kin you must down
Of precious skin under glorious crown

When you cut the beast's rotten core
When it won't have power to kill no more

When its wounds are profound
Until then you will be bound."

The very moment she finished reading the parchment got crumbled again and the box reassembled itself and spat out the key with so much force it landed a dozen meters away. Suddenly, Shashoh's lifeless body burst ablaze and almost instantaneously disappeared in the smokeless flame and Dala stared at this in confusion, ignoring the key.

"Greetings," said a figure standing at the spot where the key fell, then stretched, straightening his long rabbit ears, "took you long enough! Does anyone have milk?"

She fainted.

[kivabunny]

(ask about what auras?)
"i hear fire and smell burning fur, who is the flaming stiff? Also someone just appeared out of nowhere over there."

[Cifero Windtail]

*Cifero stared at Shashoh in surprise, catching Dala as she slid of Aragon's back.*
"Uh.... hi there."

[Hunter_]

"Grace, you can make an further adjustments to my war plans. You are a master tactician, but let me know when you adjust them."
*Hunter looked up at Grace's banner and stood by her as she spoke to the knight and got ready for battle*
"...Whatever youre planning Grace, you take the first action..." He whispered to her

[Shadis]

Cassandra snarled at Kastor and went back to reading over the book, it was wonderful.. the power seemed to flow from the pages, she ignored the rest of his tirraid until he left. after he had gone she could not help but throw the book against the wall and howl in fustration. this was getting to complicated she wanted just to go home, back to her simple little shack.. she should not have even left.. should have stayed in her destroyed village.. should have just let her self waist away into nothing.. it would have been better than getting all wound up in this massive war. everything she did was wrong.... no.. not everything.. not everything was wrong she though to herself as she picked back up the book. dont ever let your emotions get in the way like that again you stupid fool she nodded to herself and went back to reading.

 
[That was Shadis, Kai, not Kastor.  ]
 
"Read that book of his. It is your only means of survival. Power. Unaided power that He cannot provide." *With that, Shadis slunk back into the shadows, dissapearing compleatly. As he left Cassandra alone, Shadis thought to himself as he traveled through the shadow realm.* /Step one compleate. Sow the seeds of Cassandra's betrayal of Hunter. They need to separate if they are to be stopped. Non-violently, if possible. Time for step two, do not allow Grace and Hunter to take The Lord of Tinnsbury's tower. Though I mustn't allow them to see myself yet. They must all believe I am still a bodyless spirit floating about, and no harm to their plans./ *Not long after, He arrived out of the shadows at the Tower of The Lord of Tinnsbury. He stood in an empty supply closet. Grinning, he closed his eyes and covered himself wiht shadows. After a few moments, the shadows dissapeared and he now stood in a different form. He looked like a simple Anthro Wolf mage wiht a staff and sword. Putting a serious face on, he exited the closet and walked towards the Lord's Quarters.*
 
[Shadis, disguised, looks like this: http://russellt2070.deviantart.com/art/Wolf-Anthro-Wizard-48381618 ]

[Cifero Windtail]

Welcome back, Shadis...)(By the way, you do realize that hunter's not the main problem right?)
*The dark tower again. The mysterious figure glares into his seing pool, still unseen in the shadows except for a lizardlike form and red, glowing eyes. In the ball, the man sees Shashoh springing back to life.*
"Ssssssssssssssssssso, Sssssshahssssshoh, you are not dead yet."
*The figure chuckles.*
"Hopefully the dreagar will take care of both you and my waytward ssssssssssssssson...."

[Shadis]

[Yes, he is aware the Hunter isn't the enemy, it is the demon horde him and Kastor are both after. Please stop insinuating that we think Hunter is the enemy. However, the best way for Shadis to end the demons is to deal with hunter. He'd prefer non-violent means, of course, but you never know...]

((Well... I don't know what to post.... So...))

[Sne]

Grace turned to Hunter and her metal face bent producing a crooked half-smile as the Champion spoke.
"I knew it, you are just a bunch of cowards... putting on a show, counting on--" he cut, as she stuffed fingers of both her hands into his face, then spread her arms, tearing the bear apart while holding the monstrous banner in her tail.
"A show indeed."
The remaining knights were shocked, but reacted at once. They lowered their lances and all at the same time thrust at her, their weapons freezing in mid air and becoming brittle, wooden parts disintegrating upon hit. They took out swords with difficulty, the coldness biting them painfully, then charged at Grace and Hunter.

"Now you know. Killing me only slows me down. I have been forced to become a lich to prevent far worse fate than just mere death. But this is still a curse, no mistake there, however I'd rather not discuss the downsides in detail if you don't mind," Dala heard as she just woke up the moment Shashoh was speaking. "And you might guess why I'm hunting dragons, the children of the land of Greyhawk--" he continued. She heard him stop and so opened her eyes to see him staring straight into them.

"Wakey, wakey, dear!"

[Shadis]

[We are waiting for Roxy and Hunter atm Johnny  ]
 
*As the knights charged at Grace and Hunter, they suddenly found themselves resisting the cold with ease, and their courage increased as they charged. Watching from an open window within the tower, Shadis, hidden from view, aimed his staff at the knights, empowering them with his magic, giving them a better change of damaging Grace. He then empowered their blades, making them shine with a gold light at they fell upon Grace. To the Knights surprise, the blades cut into her hull far easier than anticipated.*
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
*Kastor eyed Shashoh with cautious interest.* "You are a necromancer. Odd. You do not look it at all. What's a necromancer attempting to slay dragons for?"

[Cifero Windtail]

[Yes, he is aware the Hunter isn't the enemy, it is the demon horde him and Kastor are both after. Please stop insinuating that we think Hunter is the enemy. However, the best way for Shadis to end the demons is to deal with hunter. He'd prefer non-violent means, of course, but you never know...]

(Um... wrong. But ok, keep on doing what you're doing...)

*Cifero just stood still, looking around awkwardly.*

[Sne]

Warning: external layers damaged.
Significant pressure loss. Sealing... successful.
Willforce interaction detected.
Unknown source: threat assessment: high.
Emergency mode in effect.

Grace pushed two of the knights that rushed at her away in fury, as her estimate of their threat level rose to her surprise. Shows and plays end here, a third party is interfering, there was no one that could threat her before--she scanned the whole area the first time she flew.

This third party is an obstacle to her plans.

She smashed the swords with her monstrous arms. Despite them ready for crushing thick steel like dough she didn't limit her force and so the arms creaked because of the immense tension. The swords should disintegrate like dandelions during a tornado, but they resisted... unlike knights' arms, which gave loud and unpleasant cracks.

"You had a choice," Grace said, as she blasted them with steam; if they can warm up fast, let's see how they cope with rapid change the other way.

One of them couldn't resist the heat dropped on his knees, another swung at Grace with a dagger in his other hand only for her to catch it and twist her hand awkwardly so the blade hit the owner right in a small gap in his armor.

Grace observed how Hunter is coping and decided he's doing fine the moment her two knights in a sudden revelation took out their magic scrolls and tried to cast spells. Grace spread her wing-like metallic ribbons, then smashed them together in front of her, which resulted in gruesome diced paladins with magic parchment seasoning.

"You chose to perish." she spoke as she shook the frozen drops of blood off and turned to Hunter.

"You must be Kastor, I heard a lot about you. Anyhow, the proper question is," Shashoh replied as he helped Dala up, "Why anyone would become a necromancer? See, the curse will be lifted when I'll slay a particular dragon. I become a lich so I can't truly die before I lift the curse. But it wasn't the one. This wasn't even a dragon."
